There’s nothing knee jerk about it. That issue literally only applies to capital punishment. Remove capital punishment and your point disappears, so that should be the focus since it would solve both situations simultaneously.
Instead, you seem to be using it to justify not doing anything at all for the other 99.99% of crimes where that would never even apply. Which begs the question of why you want to continue to let false accusations receive minimal punishment?
Ok, you seem to want to actually argue about capitol punishment, not false accusations, derailing the conversation for whatever reason.
If your issue is with the extreme of capitol punishment, then you deal with that separately, because that doesn’t apply for 99.99% of crimes on the books. If there’s no death penalty for the accusation, then whether it should apply to false accusations is irrelevant.
Purposeful, false accusations should result in the same punishment as the accusation, across the board regardless of the accused crime. Don’t falsely accuse an innocent person of something if you aren’t willing to accept the same sentence for your knowingly false accusation, seems pretty simple.
You seem to be under the mistaken assumption, that a simple accusation by itself means something, it doesn’t. They don’t prosecute a mistaken eyewitness for false testimony. A simple false claim doesn’t bring the wrath of the system down on someone to the point where they are charged for those false claims, you’ve got to show a complete disregard for reality and the system for things to reach that level.
People lie about shit all the time, especially to police, very few reach the point where they are prosecuted for those lies. The ones that rise to the level where they bother to actually do something about those false claims should receive the same full punishment of those false accusations.
If you knowingly falsely accuse someone of murder with the intention of having them be prosecuted and sentenced for a crime you know they did not commit, then you should receive that same punishment, not a slap on the wrist like a year of prison and some fines.
Whatever the sentence would be for the false accusation, yes.
These situations where people are being convicted for these false accusations don’t come from simple misunderstandings or poor testimony, they come from people purposefully making false accusations and even fabricating evidence. It’s effectively conspiracy to defraud the government and waste resources as well.
If anything I’d say the sentences for these should even be higher than the accusation punishment, since these people are purposefully trying to ruin the life of the accused and abusing the justice system to try and do it for them.
Slander that implicates an innocent of a crime should carry the sentence of that crime. His life is forever changed, and is forever linked with that accusation, regardless of his innocence.
That’s the original simpler definition, but as with many words and phrases, time has changed the meaning in real world usage. Modern usage of the term should probably be referred to more as Revisionist Zionism, but everything gets simplified for modern short attention spans.
This is characterized by territorial maximalism and the idea that Israel should conquer more territory, at any cost. This is clearly the modem day Israeli government perspective. Settlements and the denial of Palestinian rights are a core part of Revisionist Zionism because of that. It is not compatible with a two-state solution, much less a one-state equal rights solution. Which is why it needs to be separated from general antisemitism.
I also have to say though that they’ve had nearly 80 years to figure this out with Israel being the de facto leadership because of British decisions post-war, maybe it’s time that the Palestinians had a chance instead. It was those British decisions after all that took the land promised to the Palestinians for their assistance, to create Israel in the first place.
Here is everyone’s nearly daily reminder that there is a difference between antisemitism and antizionism.
Criticizing the Israeli government and its leaders is not the same as criticising all Jewish people.
The Zionists want to conflate these things so they can hide in plain sight and have people that aren’t paying attention defend their war crimes.
Never underestimate political apathy.
That entire situation… anyone with a shred of brainpower put the blame on the helicopter. They have a lot more accurate equipment in their direct control compared to a commercial airliner or ATC. Not to mention they are much more maneuverable.
That will only deal with the SEC portion… it won’t do anything for the civil suit at least.
Looks like Canada gets an Ivy league teaching staff for basically nothing.
They’d have to convince states like Texas, or Florida to arrest him first since that’s where he is for most of his businesses.
If there is anything even this Supreme Court is consistent with, it is maintaining their power.
This assumes he intends to have another election. Remember when he said they’d never have to vote again?
No one told him because there was no point. They know he doesn’t give a shit. He’s said as much before. It would have been a waste of time and energy to tell him. And he’s the kind of guy that would have fired them for wasting his time.
Literally a net negative for everyone to bother letting the current President of the United States know what is going on.
You do realize that the Model 3 has been available brand new for like $37k for 4 years now, and used ones obviously cheaper than that. That’s not exactly cheap, but it’s where the vast majority of EV prices are targeted, not the high end anymore.
Tesla is no longer an exclusively $80k+ luxury brand despite what so many people online seem to think still. The vast majority of Tesla vehicles ever made aren’t the Model S or X, they are the Model 3 and Y in just the last few years. Hell, half of Toyota’s current vehicle lineup is $40k or more.
That’s why they made sure they owned the media, that way they control the narrative. Conservatives learned after Watergate that the media has the actual power, so we got Fox News.
No one gave a shit about Watergate until the media started reporting about it and educated the public instead of just glossing over the event. You don’t need to be competent or popular if the majority of the public never hears about your stupidity and shitty decisions.
who may not even be able to afford a smartphone, or even Internet access.
I agree generally… However, at least currently until this fascist takeover gets to it, those same individuals would qualify for service through the Lifeline Program (Obama phones).

The digital requirement is a negative for everyone on general, but that specific reason doesn’t really apply with other current social support programs in place covering that scenario as well.
That’s handled largely by the lack of ability to take time off. And then there’s wage stagnation. It not only means increased company profits, but on the national scale it helps ensure any people do not make enough money to build up any savings.
They’ve created a very effective system where most don’t have the paid time off from work, can’t afford to call in, and also don’t have the savings to afford the time to find a new job.
Probably just the way multiple sentences easily added up and the writer didn’t bother to convert for consistency. X months for one crime, Y days for that crime, etc.
